How safe is your perfume?

Are scents making you feel bad?

Are you aware of the amount of synthetic scents and perfumes there are out there and what they are doing to your health? If you haven't seen or tried plug in diffusers, reed diffusers, scented candles or aerosol sprays to make your room smell nicer then you are lucky. Synthetic scents are even finding their way into public buildings and not just lavatories so you don't even have any choice on the matter. A new and growing trend are vapes, vaping and e-cigarettes, which all use synthetic flavours. Let's not forget either the products you use in and around your home on a daily basis. Shampoos, shower gels, bubble baths are given natural names and imagery on their packaging, but the actual scent used is likely to be synthetic. The toxic environments that you live and work in may be contributing to an increasing number of respiratory and health issues. Does the inside of your nose ever feel sore or itchy? Do you feel tired, run down, headachy for no apparent reason? All this and more could be down to a very simple thing. Scent. The perfume industry makes tonnes of money and celebrities are keen to have their own scent lines as this is a lucrative money spinner. Perfume is seen as being glamorous, while the names and bottle shapes all add to the allure of having the latest scent.


But did you know you can improve your health by ditching the perfume and finding natural alternatives? When did you last look at the ingredients in your perfume? You have already learned ingredients such as Benzaldehyde, benzyl acetate, ethanol, ethyl acetate, and linalool, commonly found in most perfumes can lead to respiratory issues, while Ethyl acetate may put you at risk of kidney or liver damage. Let's see what else may be in there that is affecting your health.
It may put you at risk of Cancer
Many perfumes contain many cancer-causing ingredients, including: benzyl acetate, limonene and methylene chloride. Benzyl acetate has been linked to pancreatic cancer, which is one of the most deadly.
